Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 12–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

This is correct. PCOS is real.

near-zero controlled human data, full stop

Yeah, the chromatogram profile matters more than the headline number.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 25 weeks to accept.

This is the correct method framing. Column and gradient are load-bearing fields.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

Small correction: the trial was 19 weeks, not 36. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

evidence required, dated screenshots, metadata, order records, or independent test

no shaming people who restart

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 56 weeks to accept.

state the method: column, gradient, detection wavelength, injection volume

This is the correct method framing. Column and gradient are load-bearing fields.

How many weeks between the two measurements?

coming off deliberately, not by accident

say how long you were on and at what dose before taper

the 15 week discontinuation arm is the data

say how long you were on and at what dose before taper

Canada here. Waited 6 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
